Statistics do say most jdm b16a's won't pass emissions. Has something to do with c/r being slightly higher most of the time, and the ecu timing. Usually like stated, a usdm motor and a very good cat will get you passed.

Even a B18C passes emissions no problem with even higher comp ration, a B16A ain't ----.

Re: what do i have to do to have a legal swap in cal.
Well there was a shop a buddy of mine ran in San Jose hybrid auto all his swaps were bar reffed and smogged
It wasnt cheap but it was legal and yes plenty of b16a pass the sniffer fine
8+years ago a car that failed really bad was brought to me. I did basic tune up,new cat,set timing and got the car uber hot
passed with flying colors this was a 1st gen b16a
2ndly my dohc zc passed without issue has well actually if I can find the print out this was around 6 years ago it was some of the lowest #'s the smog tech had seen
Nothing changes about a b16a really between the generations besides o2 sensor location which most obdo ones fail due to people not locating the 2nd 02 in the correct position or if the go legit with the usdm p30 they do the same thing with the single
2ndly the only other differences externally are vacuum lines which sadly most people run wrong and yes it affect things in a smog test especially the old school rats nest on the obdo manifolds
I dont know how many cars I have seen with people tapping into the map sensor for a vacuum source and wondering why the car runs odd
Real Life owns and yes they pass
